You sound ...A repentant heart will be your comfort! You sound very troubled and unsure but I want to assure you that if you are a born again Christ believer who has asked for sincere forgiveness of your sins, believing in the One TRUE living God who sent His son to die for your sins and paid our sin-debt in full, He has already washed you clean! If you haven't, it's not too late! He hears your pleas and your knows your desire to do better for Him, your son and your whole family and He wants you to rely on Him! He wants you to come to Him and seek His face through your regeneration. It takes time. Patience. FAITH. and TRUST! Continue to pray, continue to reach out to Him and to His church of believers for guidance. He never fails us and never forsakes His children. EVER. The blackened heart you speak of I'm sure comes from deep pain. This too can be healed. Read His word daily and find comfort there! Our community is there for you and will be praying for you. You sound desperate and God knows this of you. Please know Jesus Loves YOU! He cares about YOU and YOU are IMPORTANT to Him! Don't give up and don't give in! Cleansing sometimes takes a little bit and remember, your past is your past and the enemy, the devil, will want to keep bringing it up. Once you've repented of it and truly asked Jesus for Forgiveness and received His free gift of salvation, the Lord will not bring up your past because He died for it for you to be made new. God creates newness and the devil can only drudge up our past mistakes and sins! Remember this! Jesus doesn't want us to live in our past because He gave us our FUTURE! God Bless you in His Perfect Will and if you need specific prayers, ask us all and we will be in prayer for you on our forum! Lives are transformed all the time in Jesus Christ alone! Yours can be as well!Soldier of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14867860214053190585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120739883882855194.post-88622644947759373542019-06-11T23:09:28.787-04:002019-06-11T23:09:28.787-04:00I am a sinner a very horrible person with a blacke...I am a sinner a very horrible person with a blackened heart I try to pray but does he hear my pain.

Thank you also for the kind words! I am the sole contributor/administrator/writer of this blog as I've been led by the Holy Spirit to do this ministry! It is through this site that I've been able to reach the far corners of the world to speak Truth to all the lies of the enemy and to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ! He has blessed me greatly by those who have reached out to me through this site as well as those who have made private contact via the email address I've included on the blog. We are the body of Christ and are here to encourage and lift one another up! I am so joyful to know you have been spiritually healed and physically healed. There is nothing more beautiful, more peaceful, more profound than having the Love of Jesus Christ encompass our hearts and spirits. I pray for your continued relationship with Him and to fight the battles that inevitably come at us by the enemy, our adversary, in HIS might and not your own! The ONLY way to fight AND gain peace is through the strength of Jesus Christ! There is no other! I am so happy that you found some beauty through this site and I hope you continue to read more of my posts.

I've been blessed from my readings,yes I am saved,have been for let's say since I was 12 by confession, and 2 years ago I was baptized. I really thank God for my 16 years of life,although for some reason I feel far older than I am,I've learned a lot,I've realized how evil this world is and have become and I know it will only get worse,and I know undoubtedly that Jesus will return.a year ago maybe I had doubts not of Jesus but of my self.I would have these dreams of the rapture, and the end of time,and I would still be on earth with the rest of the unbelievers,this dream frightened me I wandered if it would come true. Id tell myself no, this dream means nothing, I know the father,I know the son,and the holy spirit, I'd cry out to the Almighty,in prayer, asking that he keep me through out life,as his own,I told him I would abide in him,and he in me. Many occasions I feel, my connection with Jesus, and it is an amazing feeling, I thank him for the great sacrifice of his self for our sins,I thank God for sending him. The Devil,the Lord is my witness,has tempted me many times,I've thought of many things against the word of God,contradictions,accusations, all because of my current, meaningless emotions,I've even read the satanic Bible,yes I assure you my discipline have been received because of my improper and unlawful act. I got very sick,I didn't know what sickness, I just know I was barely viable, barely alive. I couldn't walk,vision was blurred, and I was very cold,my Father, my righteous father,prayed over me,and told me sickness comes from sin,repent of whatever you've done,don't tell me what it was, it does not matter,just repent,then I realized,my streak of sin based on my build up,of depressive,emotions based on the things of the past,has brought this evil upon me,so that moment, I closed my eyes, and humbly, lowley,guilty as charged,repented of my sin. I was healed.I felt the heavenly father's precious, majestic, holy presence once again around, inside and out of me. But anyway not to bore anyone, I'll end my little,ugh history <br />And like I said I have been blessed by everyone, that has commented,and repliedthis,and contributed to the creation of this site, and took the time to make this blog what it is,it is beautiful to see, the members of the body of Christ perform like thissite,I thank everyone, most importantly,Glory to our Almighty,Merciful,All knowing Creator of Heaven and Earth,and every living thing,God.

I assure you, ...Dale D, thank you for your comment. I assure you, as many born again Christians can also, heaven IS real but more importantly, that JESUS CHRIST is real! God sent His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross for all of our sins, to pay our sin debt in full. The bible, in its entirety, speaks of many truths that are not found in any other religion and can be substantiated through time. As you yourself stated, the Bible has been so important to man and for good reason! I invite you to read the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John just to see the a glimpse of what you think is important to learn about. I sense there is a curiosity within your own spirit and that usually is God knocking on your heart's door. Remember, we all have been given a choice.....we can choose to believe in Jesus and follow Him and reside in Heaven or we can choose to disobey the calling, not believe in His sacrifice and reside in Hell and torment for eternity. The choice of what we choose to believe once we've heard the Truth is what ultimately matters! I will pray that you will find the Truth that is written for you too within the text of the Bible! May God bless you and guide you to His light through His truth!

You are so welcome! I have been called for this particular ministry for "such a time as this" and you know how to reach me if you have any other questions or comments or need direction. I will pray for your heart to calm down, as it will when the grieving is over, and you are settling your mind right now as we speak. If you haven't already, take a look around at some of the other articles I've written on here and in the pages section to the side. You might find some answers there as well. I'm very thankful that you were led to my site and that I had the blessed opportunity to answer your questions, point you in the right direction and to explain what I could for you! You will find your comfort and the Lord Jesus is right there, holding you tight. As I've shared, my mother passed over and left behind us three "special" girls, my sister, myself and my niece. The grieving process is different for all of us and the one thing that ISN'T different is His loving comfort and holding us close! So just pass it along to your children when they need it! In Christ Alone!

He records our very existence and has predestined the day of our death. Notice in Psalms 139:16 as the psalmist says of God, “Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written , the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.” This verse shows that God “saw” us or knew of us before we were conceived in our mother’s womb and our existence is written in His “book." God is omniscient (all-knowing) and He has set the date of our conception, birth, death, along with knowing all the days in-between. He is an awesome God! God gives life at conception and gives eternal life at death to those who believe in Jesus Christ and have put their faith in Him in their earthly life. The Bible declares an all-knowing God and that our “days” are known to Him. The "it was his time" comment that people say has truth behind the saying for certain. <br /><br />As for altering the outcome, I'll give you the "fluffy" answer....God is in control of every breath we take. He knows before we THINK a thought what we will do, choose, act upon or say. We can't change the outcome of the WILL of our Loving God because we then would have His power and that isn't possible. ONLY if it's the WILL of God for HIS purpose, then ONLY HE can change the outcome by using us. Then IF that were to happen, it still wouldn't be US changing the outcome and it would STILL be HIS Will and OUR TIME...which has been appointed to us. <br /><br />And having enough faith for healing.....all anyone needs is the faith of a mustard seed. A mustard seed is so very small! Healing is in His hands as well. We can have all the faith and more, but if it's not His will for healing to be done, for whatever reason and for whatever purpose, then healing won't take place. Remember, this still goes along with the above....our days are numbered. Please, do NOT feel any guilt in consoling the older kids as they arrived in the ER! That was exactly what you needed to do! Your friend was there to intercede. It only takes one person to pray for a miracle and if God needed him home with Him in Heaven then it was his time to travel home. I know that must have been such a heartbreaking time in your life, and your children's, but you did everything you needed to do, everything that you had to do, and everything you did, the Lord saw and honored! <br /><br />There is a set amount of days we each have but only the Lord knows that number! He wants us to live each day, every day, as though it was our last, living it for Him. We don't always know the answers to why our loved ones had to be taken home, and it's normal for us to ask all of the questions you are asking. We, as humans, like answers. God doesn't always let us in on the "why's" but He ALWAYS assures us of His love, compassion and His peace that He gives us as He comforts us through our grief! As you were praying at each compression, did you not think you didn't have enough faith then!?! I assure you that you DID! God heard that and He saw your love for your husband with each prayer and with each compression. It was his time to go home. But you never know what God was doing behind the scenes....in your life, in your children's, in your friends lives that came to the ER and even the doctor's and ambulance medics! God can use the passing of one to breathe life into the spirit of another! You did everything to the glory of the Lord your God! He's holding you and carrying you through this troubled time!!! You're seeking the answers for your family and that pleases God! <br /><br />Soldier of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14867860214053190585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120739883882855194.post-44718787573135978602014-07-21T05:10:17.998-04:002014-07-21T05:10:17.998-04:00Thank you again for responding. Sorry, another que...Thank you again for responding. Sorry, another question... are our days exactly numbered on earth or if we had seen something, any sign, and had a chance to intervene medically would there have been a chance to alter the outcome? The "it was his time " comment people say or when Pastor preaches about having enough faith for healing ( the lady who touched His robe, or the lepper or Lazarus) ...these things are painful - did I/we not have enough faith or trust for healing , see - I prayed with each compression for a half hour of CPR for God to help me help him breathe - then after that half hour of CPR at home waiting for an ambulance and then a half hour transport to the ER from our country place and at least a half hour at the ER before the doctor refused to work on him anymore was too long without breathing/heart beat and then some friends had come to the ER and one was praying over Dad after he had been removed from the trauma room and she said she was still believing that he would come back but I did not pray there with her - I was over consoling the older kids as they arrived at the ER... now I so much wish I had concentrated with her praying for a miracle but I didn't think he could come back after that long - if God knows all the hairs on our heads and the beginning from the end, then is there a set amount of days that we each have? I know my faith is not as strong as it needs to be - that is why I'm trying to learn more especially since my guy is not here anymore to lead this family, some of the kids are still so little and I need to give the right answers. Thank you for your help .

I'm here whenever you ne...You are very welcome! I'm here whenever you need me. Let me first start off with my book recommendations as that is the shortest part of this reply! :-) I won't give titles but rather just the authors as they are extremely scripturally sound authors and I would recommend any of their books! To start off with Dr. Charles Stanley. He is one of my favorite teachers and authors. He covers many topics, easy to understand, all based upon Scripture and I believe you will find his books to be extremely useful! Also in the same category is Dr. Robert Jeffress, Dr. David Jeremiah and Dr. Jack Graham. All four of these authors you will truly benefit from! All have different gifts and ministries but I think it's important to learn from more than one person because of that very reason. You can find all of their books easily anywhere you look!<br /><br />Now, to the cremation. Rest assured, it IS ok that he was cremated! Our bodies that we die in only house our spirits and are of no use to God because they are sinful! Some people take issue with cremation BUT it's NOT the body that will enter Heaven, nor does it matter how those bodies are scattered or buried because He knows where we are anyway!!! So it was ok that he was cremated. We cremated our mother as well. We knew where she was going to go!!!<br /><br />To your question about how the dead in Christ will rise first and the living will join them in the clouds. This is part of the rapture, or the day of resurrection. First, death is BODILESS because it's our SPIRITS that are present with the Lord immediately upon dying. Secondly, "the dead in Christ will rise first" applies to the events at the return of Christ for the resurrection of our bodies, of those who died, they will be the union of our glorified bodies and spirits forever! So when Jesus sounds the trumpet and calls us home, the dead in Christ will be resurrected first to be united with their spirits and new body THEN those that are alive with simultaneously meet in the clouds. In a blink of an eye. <br /><br />That part in Isaiah is a bit confusing I agree. It took me a long time to grasp that as well! Once we are in Heaven, there will be no more tears or dying! There will be some, although not many, who will die during the 1000 year millennial reign. Not dying before a full life is not talking about Heaven though. That part of the scripture is covering a period of time when man’s lifespan would be increased to that of the pre-flood era, where a person one hundred years of age would be regarded as a child and be only a PORTION of one's life. It is to this scale of longevity that Isaiah is making his comparison, in which the hundred year old is considered to be a mere youth! If that scripture is describing the 100 year old as only a portion of one's life, then those who are only 100 years old will be considered a "child, youth" or "young man" at 100 years old. And to die at this age would be compared to dying a premature death.<br /><br />"Daddy" will be happy in his garden and tilling in the earth! Praise God! I know it's difficult for you not having your "teacher, mentor and foundation of knowledge" with you, and that you can't really turn to your parents because they're agnostics. You just keep searching, praying for God to direct you, continue to pray for your parents! I will continue to answer you or direct you the best that I know how with the help of the Holy Spirit and the direction of our Lord Jesus Christ! You are pleasing the Lord by your hunger and your desire to raise up your kids in the way they should go as well as your own hunger for continued growth! Find peace and comfort in His arms and He will hold you all closely!!!

This is ...Soldier of God, thank you for your reply. This is the widow with many young children, I'm at the library and need to ask another question or two. It's late to ask this but need reassurance - it was okay then to cremate Daddy since God will not need the body he died in, right? Also what about the part in the Bible about when Jesus returns and then the dead in Christ rise first then the rest of the living join them in the clouds?... if the dead are immediately in Heaven how would this be so? Also confused about the part in Isaiah 65 where it describes Heaven with building of houses and living in them and planting of crops ... Daddy would love that, but we get confused in that part where it describes people living to be a hundred before considered old... people not dying before a full life - is this part of Isaiah describing Heaven or not? We thought there would be no further dying or is this describing the 1,000 years - is there a book besides the Bible that you would recommend reading to help me learn to help the kids understand since Daddy had been our foundation for all knowledge about God since my parents are agnostic. We are hurting , please help us. I will try to get to the library again on Monday to check if you saw this and had time to answer. Thank you again for caring about people.

Rest in the arms of our Loving God and may peace be with you and your children always! As for a "sleep" state or going immediately to be with the Lord, I will answer you in the context of Scripture where Paul tells us CLEARLY in 2 Corinthians 5:7-8, "v7) For we walk by faith, not by sight. v8) We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord." So when we are called home to be with the Lord, we are IMMEDIATELY in His presence. He sends His angels to escort us there as well. I've heard about this "sleep" stage but there is nowhere in the Bible to support this and there would be no purpose IN a sleep stage. It would go against everything the Bible tells us. As for our bodies? This is a little less easy to explain in a short version, but I will try my best! :-) Ok, first of all, in I Corinthians 15:50 it tells us that flesh and blood cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven because it is SINFUL. Then in verses 51-52, Paul explains the mystery about our change. The corruptible will put on incorruption, and mortality will become immortality. We need to have a complete change to make us suitable for our new environment. This implies a conversion of our same physical bodies to a body with heavenly qualities. Paul states that their dead body is sown and will be resurrected to new life. God has it become a new body ( 1Cor.15:38). The old body puts on (is swallowed up) by the new body it is transformed into something permanent. The statement characterizes the resurrection body as one completely filled and governed by the Holy Spirit. So the implications are that our new body is the embodiment of a spiritual body. 2 Cor. 5:1-5: “For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.” Notice it states the new body our housing is in heaven and from heaven. That's because we are changed and made to adjust to a new location. God’s purpose is to give us a permanent body to live in. The physical body we were born in embodies the sinful nature. God tells us that we are made NEW once we receive His Son, Jesus Christ. That is the beginning of our transformation! Praise be to the Lord God Almighty for loving us so much! This would be the best way that I could describe that part because the Bible doesn't go into great details about this particular change. Paul states it's a mystery and sometimes God just gives us enough to understand within our human capabilities because we can't wrap our heads or minds around everything He is and does because we are mere mortals! I pray this answered your questions. If you are still unclear, please email again! I will answer you as much as need be to help you through this!

Yes it is true that Go...Thank you for your comment. Yes it is true that God IS Love. Rules and rituals are man made EXCEPT for those specific things that God the Father breathed into existence in His infallible Word for our instruction. One being that no one can come to the Father except by Jesus Christ. We must believe upon Him, accept Him as our personal Savior, believe that He is the ONLY Begotten Son, who died on the cross for our sin debt, rose three days later and who shed His blood for US. It is then that we will be received as a Child of God. It is very simple, I agree, but as with anything else, not everyone sees it so simply unless you are a child of God and have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. That's why we are all called to pray for those who cannot see......Soldier of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14867860214053190585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120739883882855194.post-35349539478526123282014-07-03T02:34:42.886-04:002014-07-03T02:34:42.886-04:00God will receive you as long as you believe in him...God will receive you as long as you believe in him . He is understanding and has unconditional love for all of his children . I disagree when people say you have to follow this and that rule to receive his love . Like any loving parent he loves you know matter what . You have to be a pretty horrible person and have your soul full of absolute hate and denial for him to forsake you . Absolute love is god , absolute faith is god , and absolute understanding is god ,not a bunch of rules. Love him and he will love you back its that simple .<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
